Regeneration
First Appearance: Chapter 189
Category: ability
People: Piccolo, Neil, Cell, Majin Buu (good), Majin Buu (evil), Majin Buu (pure)
Special Characteristics: A technique that regenerates one’s own body. It’s the special ability of the Namekians. As long as their head remains, they have the ability to regenerate from any condition. Cell inherited this ability, and could always regenerate as long as the nucleus in his head remained. In contrast to this, Majin Buu could always completely restore himself, even if he just a single piece of flesh remained, just so long as he wasn’t totally annihilated. For Cell, each time he regenerated, he bragged about having Piccolo’s cells inside him. (Daizenshuu 2, p.183/Daizenshuu 4, p.49, p.62)
Anime: In “Super Saiya-jin Son Goku”, Piccolo restores his ears, which he ripped off himself. Gohan is impressed, saying “Just as you’d expect”. (Daizenshuu 6, p.70)
